Let's talk through where communications capacity may be breaking down among your nonprofit partners, and what kind of support could realistically help.

This is a low-pressure conversation to compare notes, ask questions, and explore whether any of the models shared in the webinar could fit your needs.

Step Number	Step Name	What We Do	What You Leave With
1	Define Outcomes	Translate your existing organizational priorities — even if broad or loosely defined — into measurable communications objectives that communications can directly support.	Clear 12-month communications outcomes tied to real organizational movement.
2	Identify Priority Audiences	Determine which audiences must understand and respond for your outcomes to move, and build structured Audience Profiles exploring their drivers, barriers, fears, aspirations, frustrations, and where they pay attention.	Prioritized audiences with documented psychological insight and media clarity.
3	Clarify Awareness Gaps	Evaluate where understanding breaks down across priority audiences and where reinforcement has been inconsistent or diluted.	A documented awareness gap analysis identifying what must be strengthened and repeated.
4	Define the Core Story	Develop a shared, organization-wide explanation of who you are, what you do, and why it matters — clear enough to repeat consistently across staff and channels.	A documented Core Story with guardrails for alignment and consistency.
5	Identify Engagement Paths	Map how each priority audience engages (donate, attend, advocate, partner, volunteer) and what they need to understand before taking action.	Defined engagement paths with aligned message priorities.
6	Customize Awareness Essentials, Topics & Calendar	Translate strategy into a structured 12-month reinforcement system with monthly topics, required outputs, and defined mini-campaign moments.	A complete annual awareness plan designed for reinforcement, not randomness.
7	Set Up Systems & Templates	Configure project management structure (Monday.com or your existing tool), align email platform and templates, ensure Meta Ads Manager is properly structured, and establish Canva brand kit and campaign templates.	Operational infrastructure aligned to your plan — making consistency repeatable.
8	Track Visibility & Progress	Establish simple tracking that reflects reinforcement and audience movement — not just isolated engagement metrics.	An internal dashboard and board-ready snapshot that makes awareness progress visible.
9	Write, Launch & Operate	Write and publish your first month of content (and first mini-campaign if applicable), establish workflow, and move into a sustainable cadence.	A live system in operation with a defined monthly rhythm.
